Budget accommodation in Vegas
Finding the right place to stay in Las Vegas, without burning a hole in your pocket can be easily accomplished as the city has plenty of low cost hotels, motels and inns for tourists. Once you have planned your travel itinerary, select accommodation that meets all your requirements, in terms of proximity to popular attractions, downtown Vegas or a particular casino.
When choosing accommodation remember that although the Las Vegas Strip is where all the action is, Downtown Vegas has its own charms, is not too far away from the Strip and has accommodation on offer that is a lot cheaper.
Transport costs
In regards to cheap transport for the budget traveller, trams and buses operate between most hotels and are the best way to get around Las Vegas. Be sure to check with the front desk at your hotel of choice before you set out for the day about tram stops and tram timings. If you do decide to use public transport, bear in mind that buying a daily pass works out a lot cheaper than any other ticket for a lesser duration.
Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon are all affordable tourist attractions that budget travellers can visit in the vicinity of the Las Vegas Strip.
